Definitions

  • Disposable pads are typically made of layers of non- woven paper or synthetics with a super-absorbent diaper-like material in the middle layer and often include a plastic lining to prevent moisture from being absorbed into the bra cup. Unless the plastic liner is breathable, it can impede the healing of traumatized nipples or make nipple infections or breast yeast infections more likely. Since the pads need to be changed when they become wet, they may need to be changed frequently, which could become expensive. Furthermore, women who are environmentally conscious may find disposal of large numbers of plastic lined, slowly biodegradable pads to be objectionable.
  • Washable pads which are typically made of 100% cotton, such as flannel, or hemp tend to be less expensive in the long run than disposable, however a ready supply of clean, dry pads must be kept at hand for changing. Care must be taken during washing to avoid reduction of the pad's absorbency, and fabric softener is not recommended for this reason. On the other hand, repeated washings without fabric softener could cause the fabric to lose its softness, increasing shear and friction, and reducing comfort. Available washable pads suffer from abrasive surface, lack of breathability, and/or poor ability to conform to the breast shape. Odor control and moisture wicking can be problems as well. Other commercially available nursing pads include 100% wool pads, which tend to be bulky and relatively expensive, and must be hand washed.
  • the present invention provides an alternative to existing nursing brad pads that avoid many of the drawbacks of existing commercially-available pads.

  • the composite textile has a first, skin contact layer formed from a woven fabric of synthetic filament yarns woven to provide air and moisture vapor permeability and a non-shearing surface, with a thickness of less than 1 mm, the skin contact layer having an inner, skin contact surface and a bottom surface; interchangeable second and third layers are formed from moisture absorbing and retaining fabrics.
  • the second layer is formed from a breathable microfiber fabric woven from synthetic fibers having a cross-sectional shape that includes a plurality of voids for generating a capillary effect for moisture absorption from one surface to moisture retention on the opposite surface of the fabric, thus ensuring that the bra and clothing stay dry.
  • the third layer has the additional quality of moisture absorption retention and is preferably the same shape as the first two layers.

  • the third layer may be positioned between the first layer and the second layer or it may be sandwiched between the second layer and the fourth layer.
  • the fourth, outer layer is formed from a breathable, waterproof fabric having a thickness of less that 1 mm that is woven from synthetic yarn such as nylon or polyester to produce a moisture vapor transfer rate within the range of 5,000 to 20,000 grams per meter squared per 24 hours.

Abstract

L’invention concerne un rembourrage pour soutien-gorge en forme de bonnet constitué d’un textile composite multicouche circulaire ou de forme ovale, présentant une première couche au contact de la peau en un tissu tissé perméable à la vapeur d'humidité, non-déchirable, composé de filasses de filament synthétique. Une deuxième couche et une troisième couche sont constituées de tissus absorbant et retenant l’humidité. La deuxième couche est un tissu en microfibres respirable qui aspire l’humidité de la surface interne vers la surface externe du tissu. La troisième couche assure la rétention de l’humidité et peut être positionnée entre la première couche et la deuxième couche ou bien entre la deuxième couche et la quatrième couche. La quatrième couche, qui peut éventuellement être revêtue de PTFE,  est constituée de tissu étanche respirable tissé à partir de filasse synthétique pour obtenir le transfert de vapeur d’humidité. Les quatre couches sont cousues ensemble le long de leurs bords. Les couches sont cousues pour constituer une forme de bonnet épousant généralement la forme du sein.
